My theory is that it was recorded on a 4 track and the hissing noises are tape noise. I think the engineer clicked each track on, in beat, just before the song starts because it wouldn't sound right if he threw all 4 tracks on at the same time.
Nobody ever knows what I'm talking about tho... nobody else has ever heard the noise. Just like nobody knows who Cruds the Robot is, or remembers Mr. Beeper from Rocket Ship 7. Promo the Robot? Englebit Superchick??

Black dog
Whole lotta love
Bring it on home
Dazed and confused,
Communication Breakdown
and many more that I can't think of,
I don't care what anybody says about Page he was the Riff Master hands down. (how many other people can you think of have made as many Memorable riffs as Page?)

Page & Plant got most of the attention, but it was Jones & Bonham that made their stuff work. And Page was a good enough producer to know how to use that.
